It was the same way with silence. This was more than silence. A deaf person can feel vibrations. Here there was nothing to feel.
— Madeleine L'Engle
Next Quote
Be deaf unto the suggestions of tale-bearers, calumniators, pick-thank or malevolent detractors, who, while quiet men sleep, sowing the tares of discord and division, distract the tranquillity of charity and all friendly society. These are the tongues that set the world on fire--cankerers of reputation, and, like that of Jonah's gourd, wither a good name in a single night.
— Thomas Browne
